Almost all the mass of the electron is in the point particle, and the field has almost zero mass?

There is a regularization/renormalization problem in classical electromagnetism: if the electron is a point particle, then its static electr...

Another heuristic proof of the Pauli exclusion principle: particles can only enter the same state through a spin-z = 0 state

Our blog post on March 7, 2021 left open several questions. Our argument was that we have to be able to sum wave functions linearly. If ψ re...

Why is the value of the fine structure constant 1/137?

›
Short answer: there is no reason. It is just a random value. ---- The measured value of the fine structure constant is        α = 1 / 137.03...

A possible explanation for why the electron has the spin 1/2; a new proof of the Pauli exclusion principle

Proof of the spin-statistics theorem: can we really prove the Pauli exclusion principle?

The rubber plate model may explain the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron; the photograph model may explain spin 1/2

›
The first vertex correction diagram increases the magnetic moment of the electron by the factor        1 + r_e / λ_e = 1 + α / (2π), where  ...

Why the vertex function affects the electron anomalous magnetic moment but not its charge? SOLVED!
